but damn what she did is just EVIL, this is a devastating blow to his reputation, word will circulate around and he will never be able to convince people otherwise, forever marked as a wifebeater.
You seriously don’t even JOKE about something like that

when I said you don’t joke about something like that I meant “you don’t, IRL, joke about your husband beating you if he doesn’t actually do that”
Not that “you don’t make a comic that jokes about that”. If I meant the latter I wouldn’t have said it was an epically funny page.
